STERLING, Va. – When Washington Redskins football players Rob Kelley and Keith Marshall overheard a boy asking about the price of an Xbox video game system in a Virginia GameStop, they decided to surprise him.

“You want to help him out and get it for him?” Marshall asked Kelley, according to ESPN. The two decided to split the cost, but only after the boy, 10-year-old Jaden, got permission.

Jaden ran to find his grandmother, Saundra Watts, who was skeptical at first, according to the Washington Post. Watts works with children who have been abused and neglected, and she told the paper, “The first thought I’m thinking is there’s some pedophile trying to buy my grandson an Xbox.”

Watts said she had no idea the two were NFL players, but after talking with them she agreed.
